[edit] How You Can Help
- I borrowed this:
- Review the list of newest articles (offset by 10,000). These articles are around 3-5 days old, depending on volume, but still lots to clean up and improve there.
- Visit and comment on AfD nominations with a low number of evaluations. It's difficult to reach consensus with only two or three opinions, so your input would be greatly appreciated.
- Dive into WikiProject: Fact and Reference Check. There is a huge backlog over there, and we are in desperate need of good researchers and fact checkers.
- Look over the lists at Requested Articles. If you see something you're familiar with, take a stab at creating a new article.

[edit] Info
Born in Derry. I studied in Derry [1] [2] [3], Manchester [4], Belfast [5]. I have worked in Derry, Les Landes, Croydon, Guernsey, Dublin and Edinburgh. I now live and work in Perth, Western Australia. I reckon the BBC website sets a standard in quality. I enjoy adding my own images to wiki (as appropriate) to help illustrate the articles here.
Why do I do Wiki? "Cos I can....."
